Object Selector includes two tabs for locating target objects for the tasks you want to perform:
Section 4.2.1, "Browse," on page 30
Section 4.2.2, "Search," on page 30

4.2.1 Browse

The Browse tab (default) lets you navigate the directory tree to search for the desired objects. It
includes the following primary components:
Object Filter: Located on the left side of the Object Selector, the object filter lets you limit the
objects displayed in the Contents list. Once defined, click Apply to use the filter. The object filter
uses the following fields:
Look in: Displays only those objects in the specified context. This is identical to opening the
container from the Contents list.
Look for objects named: Displays only those objects that conform to the specified name filter.
Use the asterisk (*) wildcard to specify a partial name. For example: ldap*, *cert, *server*.
Advanced Browsing: This link opens the Advanced Selection tool, from which you can specify
additional, attribute-level filter settings. For more information, see
page 34.
Load Criteria/Save Criteria: These two links let you load a previously defined filter definition
and save the current filter so it can be re-used, respectively.
Contents List: Displays a list of directory objects, as defined by the criteria in the object filter. By
default, the object list displays 100 objects on a page, but you can change this number, if desired.
Use the

the objects in the Contents list by doing the following:
Select the down arrow icon next to a container object to open that container and view its
objects in the Contents list.
Select the up arrow icon at the top of the object list to view the contents of the current
container's parent. This moves you up one level in the directory tree.
Selecting an object causes iManager to identify that object as one on which you want to
perform the current task.
Selected Objects: This component only appears when you are selecting multiple objects for the
current task. The Selected Objects field lists the objects currently selected for the task. Click OK
when the list is complete. Click Clear All if you want to empty the selected objects list and start
over.
For more information about selecting single or multiple objects for a task, see
